• Boudreau (Madison, Wisc., office) receives Employee Veteran Leadership award
• Rubocki (Joliet, Ill., office) named a Veteran Champion of the Year in Corporate America

EVANSVILLE, Ind., May 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: ONB) – Old National Bancorp (“Old National”) team members Jeff Boudreau, Community Banking Market Manager, VP, and Cheri Rubocki, Talent Acquisition Director, SR, SVP, were recently honored by the military employment advocacy group Military Friendly. Boudreau received the Employee Veteran Leadership award while Rubocki was named a Veteran Champion of the Year in Corporate America.

The Employee Veteran Leadership award recognizes employees of an organization who are U.S. military veterans and who demonstrate the finest qualities of our nation’s military, including leadership, teamwork, discipline, determination, adaptability, a strong work ethic and a can-do attitude, while the Veteran Champion of the Year in Corporate America award recognizes those who embody exceptional dedication to supporting America's veterans in the civilian workforce.

"The transition from military to civilian life can be challenging, even for the most prepared service members,” said Dan Fazio, awards program manager. “The remarkable support and guidance provided by these advocates to help veterans thrive in their civilian careers are truly commendable.”

Of the 40 Employee Veteran Leadership honorees nationwide, Boudreau was the lone recipient from a banking institution.

“This is truly an honor,” Boudreau said. “I see this not only as recognition of the work that I have continued to do during and since my military career, but also a reflection of the culture at Old National. We truly believe that we are ‘Better Together’ here at Old National, and that starts with understanding what makes each of us unique. I believe that we all have the ability to lead from where we sit.”

Boudreau served for four years active and three years in the reserves in the United States Marines, and three years in the reserves in the United States Army National Guard. He serves as co-chair of Old National’s internal Military Veterans Impact Network group, which coordinates company-wide efforts to create sustainable programs for veterans transitioning back to civilian life while providing team members that are veterans – and their family members and supporters – with education, resources, and networking opportunities.
